i also thought to launch an intent via notification command that would just return home, and android's dev docs mention:

ACTION_MAIN with category CATEGORY_HOME -- Launch the home screen.

#

however, i don't think i can send intent categories via notification command (maybe @wise hemlock knows?), and sending it with only intent_action: android.intent.action.MAIN gave me a toast error on the device i tested (my phone, not the quest)

intent categories are not supported yet but you can submit a feature request for that

#

looks like you cant shutdown but you can try requesting a shut down like this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24693682/turn-off-device-programmatically

#

ah looks like it requires a special permission only granted to system apps

yeah seems like that won't work

#

maybe if it was rooted

#

yea we can add support for categories though

I have had an idea in the meantime: open the companion app to a Lovelace view like "done for the day" or something

#

not a full jerk out of there but more of a gentle tug

#

lol

#

actually, how would I send something like that? rather than an actionable (I do that kind of thing already), a notification command to just do it

#

oh, I got it

#

you can try TTS, I think it shold work as it has an engine but i havent checked that in a while

#

tts might be a cool idea, thanks for the suggestion

#

I haven't gotten to it yet but kind of thinking something we could even set a message and show on the dashboard based on the reason she's getting yanked

#

like "dinnertime" or whatever

#

tts would work well for that too I guess
